Lyrics

In this life, one thing counts In the bank, large amounts I'm afraid these don't grow on trees You've got to pick a pocket or two You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys You've got to pick a pocket or two Large amounts don't grow on trees You've got to pick a pocket or two Let's show Oliver how to do it, my dears Why should we break our backs Stupidly paying tax? Better get some untaxed income Better pick a pocket or two You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys You've got to pick a pocket or two Why should we all break our backs? Better pick a pocket or two Who says crime doesn't pay? Robin Hood, what a crook Gave away what he took Charity's fine Subscribe to mine Get out and pick a pocket or two You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys You've got to pick a pocket or two Robin Hood was far too good He had to pick a pocket or two My merry me, ha-ha-ha-ha Take a tip from Bill Sikes He can whip what he likes I recall He started small He had to pick a pocket or two You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys You got to pick a pocket or two We could be like old Bill Sikes If we pick a pocket or two If at first you don't succeed When I see someone rich Both my thumbs start to itch Only to find some piece of mind I have to pick a pocket or two You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys You've got to pick a pocket or two Just to find some piece of mind You have to pick a pocket or two
